Movement and Combat

[Grandpa Kim]

Originally posted by PvK:
The reason sometimes you don't get more than one combat per turn in stationary stand-offs, is that if the combat is a stalemate, where neither side gets hurt, then they'll stop trying until the situation changes. This avoids what would otherwise happen - heaps of no-event combats when a planet and its moon, or two derelict ships, were hostile, etc.

Well, that could be the case, but its not consistent. I remember one solo game against TDM races where I had a sat group at an enemy planet. On one turn there was about 20 "combats' without a shot being fired-- they were too far apart!

Uh, PvK, assuming you are correct, how do you know that is the reason?
